Singapore Exchange Group’s index division, SGX Indices, announced on Sep, 22 2025 the launch of the iEdge Singapore Next 50 Indices, which track the performance of the next 50 large and liquid mainboard companies outside the Straits Times Index.
Developed with a transparent, rules-based methodology, the indices apply free-float, market-capitalisation and liquidity screens, and are offered in two variants: one weighted by market capitalisation and another by liquidity.
SGX Indices said the new benchmarks aim to broaden market participation by raising the visibility of companies ranked below Singapore’s 30 largest by market capitalisation.
Institutional investors net bought 425 million Singapore dollars of small- and mid-cap stocks in the first eight months of 2025, while average daily turnover in this segment rose 50% year-on-year to 163 million Singapore dollars, according to SGX statistics.
Ng Yao Loong, Head of Equities at SGX Group, stated that the initiative is intended to help investors capitalise on a wider spectrum of opportunities in Singapore’s equity market.
Further details, including methodology and constituent lists, are available at sgx.com/indices.
